We stopped there on our way through the Everglades....it's a real piece of Florida history and we loved it! Entrance fee is only $5 and well worth it!

Looks like nothing at all, but go inside and be prepared to be surprised. We spoke to one of the owners who told us that him and his brother have a television show coming out soon about the skunk ape. Interesting and friendly to talk to, and we enjoyed visiting with him briefly. We really enjoyed the animals. For five... More
